There’s a version of therapy people have in their heads before they ever walk in where you have to show up polished, say the right things, be ready for everything, and somehow already know how to do the hard parts. That’s not what this is.

You don’t have to have it together before you get here. You don’t have to have the words, the readiness, or the perfectly edited version of your story. You just have to show up — snacks welcome, pajamas acceptable, messy and unfinished completely fine.

The only thing that matters is that you’re here 🤍
What makes you feel most comfortable in therapy?

“You’re holding a grudge” is sometimes just code for “I want you to stop being affected by what I did.”

You’re allowed to feel it… the hurt, the anger, the sadness, the betrayal, and still choose forgiveness. Those things don’t cancel each other out. Forgiveness doesn’t require you to minimize what happened or hand back trust that hasn’t been re-earned yet. Sometimes forgiveness doesn’t lead to having a relationship again, and that’s okay.

No is a complete sentence. Setting boundaries after being hurt isn’t a punishment. It IS a pause to decide how this person or group of people will get access to you in the present or future. You can expect some disagreement and pushback, but that doesn’t mean the line you hold is wrong.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens when you walk into therapy… it’s not a couch you lay down on while someone scribbles notes and nods. At least not mine.

It’s honestly just a really good conversation. One where nothing you say is too much or too messy. It’s a lot less intimidating once you’re in the room. Just two humans working together to figure out what’s going on underneath it all. The hardest part is the decision to show up for the first time, and if you’ve so much as thought about starting, that’s something.

My “toolbox” is quite simple, just a few things that help you feel more grounded, connected, and aware during the work we do together!

Being touched out isn’t just about physical contact. It’s what happens when your nervous system has already been maxed out by the mental load, the kids, the job, the mental exhaustion of just existing… and then someone reaches for you and your body has nothing left to give.

Add in any fear or unspoken expectation around sⓔx, and your nervous system will guard itself even harder.

This is biology, not to be confused with rejection. And there are ways through it that don’t require you to override what your body is telling you. Having rules for sⓔx and connection can sound strange, but from the perspective of your nervous system, adding structure to your intimacy isn’t such a bad thing.

I don’t care why you’re here, just that you are.
I know some of the things I talk about aren’t exactly dinner table conversation. And I know that for some of you, even being here feels like a lot. No judgment about where you are, what you’re carrying, or how long it takes you to feel ready. I’m not here to rush you or tell you what you need.

What I do know is that the women who end up here usually needed to find it. However that happened — I’m glad you’re here. Stay as long as you need. Engage when it feels right. And for those who want to engage a little more privately, swipe through the carousel for a few options.

There’s no wrong way to be here.
